What medicine to take to cure lupus erythematosus

There is no cure for lupus erythematosus, but most patients are relieved by medication. The causes of lupus erythematosus are complex and may be related to genetic factors, environmental factors, estrogen levels, etc., so it is recommended to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and follow the doctor's instructions.

1. Glucocorticoids: generally used in the acute phase of lupus erythematosus, which can be treated by inducing remission and maintenance phases. Usually according to the severity of the disease, oral prednisone acetate tablets or intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate can be treated according to the doctor's instructions, if the effect is not good, intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection can be given under the guidance of a doctor;

2. Antimalarial drugs: patients with lupus erythematosus can be treated by inducing remission and maintenance drugs, and oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets and artemether tablets can be taken orally according to the doctor's instructions, which can usually control the development of the disease and improve the patient's discomfort symptoms;

3. Immunosuppressants: glucocorticoids are only suitable for use in the acute phase of the disease or in the induction of remission, and can be treated with oral prednisone acetate tablets or intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate according to the doctor's instructions. If the response is inadequate, maintenance therapy with immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide and azathioprine is indicated.

4. Biological agents: For patients with refractory lupus erythematosus, biological agents can also be used for treatment according to the doctor's instructions, such as belimumab injection.
